How is flushing sewage hydrodynamic method
In contrast to the simplest elimination of blockage of a sewer pipe, hydrodynamic flushing of the sewage system allows flushing the entire system to its original condition and initial section of its elements.
It is for this reason that it is better to use more traditional methods of cleaning to eliminate a simple blockage. But if you want not only to get rid of a blood clot in the system, but also to improve the permeability to the maximum, increasing its service life, then you should use this modern method of cleaning.
Cleaning process
Washing sewage pipes using the hydrodynamic method is more likely to be preventive than emergency work.
Purges of this kind fall into two categories:
- Internal sewage cleaning;
- External sewage cleaning.
Each of these types of washing should be discussed in more detail.
Work with the internal surfaces of sewer pipes
Cleaning the internal sewage system implies a complete flushing of the pipeline.
Note! Here, the word pipeline means all pipes running from the plumbing to the first well compartment or sewer septic tank.
This kind of work is done with the help of specialized equipment. If it is necessary to clean the pipes of fat deposits, then equipment is used for flushing the sewage system, which is capable of heating water to a temperature of about 150 degrees Celsius and supplying it under pressure of 150 atmospheres.
Note! If we are talking about cleaning the system in cafes, restaurants and other catering establishments, then specialized chemicals are used for washing that can effectively deal with adhering grease.
External sewer cleaning
This type of work involves flushing from the first manhole to the inset into the central sewage system. This type of procedure is performed step by step from one well to another. The liquid that accumulates in them at the same time, subsequently removed.
External flushing of the sewage system cannot be done by own hands, because for this you will need a machine, and perhaps even two:
- 1 machine - directly flushes itself;
- 2 machine - pumping sediment from the well.
Note! The need to rent a second car can be caused not only by the amount of sludge deposits in the well, because their volume in different systems can be radically different.
The price of such services may also be different, since it depends on many additional factors.
Everything counts:
- Scope of work;
- Pipeline parameters;
- Pollution level, etc.
Sewer cleaning equipment
In today's market, you can meet with such a device as a hydrodynamic machine for washing sewage, it is perfect for cleaning:
- Sewer system;
- Heating system;
- Ventilation system;
- Plums, etc.
The only limitation that the instruction manual provides for the device is that the diameter of the pipes should not exceed 1 meter.
Such machines perfectly cope with household blockages, silt, fatty deposits, etc. To date, it is the hydrodynamic washing of sewer networks with the help of such a machine that is read the most effective and high-quality cleaning method.
The principle of operation of such a device is quite simple and straightforward. Dirt and debris are washed out with water, which the head of the apparatus with a special nozzle feeds under high pressure. The result is a jet thrust, which allows the head to move, pulling the hose behind it and eliminating all blockages in its path.
Note! The ability to use different nozzles make the device multifunctional and applicable to combat blockages of any type. There are even nozzles that can be used for flushing storm sewers.
Main characteristics of devices
Next, we list the main parameters of such devices.
Pressure | It characterizes the strength of the fluid flow. The higher the pressure, the greater the force will be the jet of water escaping from the nozzle |
Water flow | This characteristic is completely dependent on the diameter of the pipe and the area of surfaces that need to be cleaned. |
Apparatus engine power | This parameter defines the maximum force that the system can give. |
Parameters of the hose, or rather, its length | It is this length that determines the maximum length of the pipeline that will clean this device. |
Based on the listed parameters, we can safely conclude that today the sewage pipes can be flushed by machines of various models with different characteristics. (See also the article Sewage drains: features.)
Types of cleaning machines
Hydrodynamic machines existing on the modern market are divided into the following types:
- Portable unit, located on a dedicated trolley. Such devices are ideal for pipes with a diameter of 0.2 m and less, are easy to transport and have compact dimensions. As a source of fluid can be a regular water supply;
- Canal Washers. They are mainly used for flushing highways with a diameter of 1 meter. Such a machine is autonomous, because it comes with a water tank. Transportation of such a device can be accomplished using a van or a car body that is suitable in size;
- Canal Washer Trailers. Fully autonomous unit, towing which can carry a car.
Finally
Hydrodynamic machines have long been proven to be a great tool for removing blockages in pipes of any diameter. Cleaning is quick and does not damage the pipeline. Most models are capable of creating such a strong flow of liquid, which will eliminate even a serious thrombus, and a large assortment of attachments to these devices makes them as multifunctional as possible.
At present, there is no more efficient cleaning method than flushing the sewage system with a hydrodynamic method. And in order to make sure of this, you can view the video in this article, which will allow you to see the whole process with your own eyes.
